"Life coaching (or personal coaching) is the second biggest consulting industry after management consulting. Therapists are the professionals best positioned to move into this rapidly growing field: they are experts at listening, encouraging, and facilitating change.". "Coaching allows therapists to use their current training with a wide population of clients, specifically those who are not "suffering mental illness" but rather seeking to maximize their life potential. Becoming a coach usually requires only a little additional fine-tuning, specific skill building, and marketing know-how. This book is one-stop shopping for the therapist wishing to explore the coaching field."--BOOK JACKET.
